Crippen A Novel Of Murder
July 1910: The grisly remains of Cora Crippen music hall singer and wife of Dr Hawley Crippen are discovered in the cellar of 39 Hilldrop Crescent Camden. But the Doctor and his mistress have vanished much to the frustration of Scotland Yard and the outrage of a horrified London. Across the Channel in Antwerp the SS Montrose sets sail on its two week voyage to Canada. Amongst its passengers are the overbearing Antonia Drake and her daughter Victoria who is hell bent on romance the enigmatic Matthieu Zela and the modest Martha Hayes. Also on board are the unassuming Mr. John Robbinson and his seventeen years old son Edmund. But all is not as it seems.
